Dead To Alive 7 By: slickboy444@aol.com AN: Hi! It’s me slickboy444! As I promised the “Dead to Alive” series continues. Here is the seventh chapter, for all you who wanted it. This story is almost over so don’t worry. I hope you all enjoy this story and please tell me what you think at slickoby444@aol.com. Remember, I don’t own pokemon at all so please don’t sue, and on with the fic. AN: ‘these mean character thoughts.’ Ash and Robby are the same character just so you all know. Misty walked back towards the living room where Ash and Sara were. She took a deep breath not know how he was going to react. Misty: Ah…I mean Robby, can I talk to you for a minute? Ash/Robby: Sure. Misty: Uh, in private. Ash/Robby: Oh, okay. He got up and went in to the other room with Misty. Ash/Robby still felt strange around Misty and was anxious about what she might say. Misty: Um, Robby. I need to talk to you about your past. Ash/Robby: My past? Nobody could have expected this. Ash was puzzled on why she wanted to bring this up. When the word “past” was spoken Sara and Brenda walked in to the room next door and listened to what they were saying. Misty: Robby, what do you remember about your past? Ash/Robby: What do you mean? Misty: Brenda told me how you came to be her son. You even told me you were adopted. I just want to know, what do you remember before you became part of this family? Ash/Robby:… He couldn’t remember anything past waking up in the hospital that one day. He would always think and ponder on where he came from, but he could never remember. It was all just one big blank. Misty: Well… Ash/Robby: I…Did Brenda tell you about my accident? Misty: Yes, I know about that. Do you remember anything before that? Ash/Robby: Well…No. I can’t, all I remembered was waking up in that bed not knowing where I was or who I was. Misty: You mean you don’t remember your mom. You don’t remember your pokemon. You don’t remember your friends. And you don’t remember…Me. Ash/Robby: I…Um. Misty took a deep breath. She knew this wasn’t going to be easy for her or Ash, but she had to do it. If not for her than for everybody else that cares for Ash. Misty: Robby, I knew you before that accident. I knew you because you were my best friend in the whole world. Your real name is Ash Ketchem. Ash/Robby: Ash…Ketchem. ‘Why does that name sound so familiar? Why can’t I remember anything about it?’ Misty: Ash, don’t you remember anything? Ash/Robby: No, I can’t. Misty: Ash, you were my best friend. We traveled together on your pokemon quest. We went through so much, we had so much fun, and we saw so many things. Then one day, something terrible happened. Misty took another deep breath. She never liked to go over this story, but it had to be done. Misty: We were traveling to Newport City through a rugged route over the mountain. The weather was terrible and the road was muddy, but we moved on. We got to a narrow section of the cliff when… Ash saw that this was a painful thing for her to talk about, but still he listened. Misty: There was a landslide and you fell…You were able snag your backpack on a rock, but…You fell. We ran to the city and tried to get some help, but they couldn’t find you. They said the river swept your body out to see. We all thought you were dead. Ash saw tears coming down Misty’s face as she continued. Misty: Ash…You have no idea how much I missed you…Or how much your friends miss you. The pain in Ash’s head became greater. He then buried his face in his hands and tried to let this revelation sink in. He thought and thought about what he had just heard. He tried to remember, but still the same blank. Harder and Harder Ash tried to focus and probe deep in to his mind. Ash/Robby: I’m…Sorry you had to bring that event back, but I… Now Misty was truly on the verge of crying. Ash/Robby: I’m sorry, I can’t. It’s all a blank. Misty’s heart sunk. Misty: ‘I guess Ash Ketchem really did die back there at that waterfall.’ Misty then had a thought. Misty: ‘I can’t do this. He can’t remember. I’ve found him and lost him all over again. If he can’t remember, then what’s the point of me pestering him? He’s got such a happy life now. He’ll be much happier without me. But his family…’ Misty felt she had to leave before she broke down. She felt completely helpless. Just like all those years ago she felt a deep despair come over her. Suddenly she knew what she had to do. Misty: Ash, no Robby, I’m sorry for coming in and just ruining your existence. You deserve a happy life. I don’t want to take that away from you. I’m sorry, I promise you will never see me again. Ash/Robby: But…Misty. Misty: No, no buts Robby. I just want you to be happy. I don’t want you to remember me, but there is only one thing I do what you to remember. Ash/Robby: W…What? Misty: This. Misty leaned toward Ash and softly kissed him on the lips. She took one last gaze in to he dark brown eyes. Misty: Goodbye…Ash Ketchem. As quickly as she appeared, now she was gone. Misty rushed out of the house before she broke down in tears. Ash put his hands up to his face and touched the area where Misty just kissed. Ash: Misty… Just then, a huge stream of pictures raced across his mind. Ash fell back on to a chair and grabbed his head. Ash: ‘These pictures…’ Just then a soothing, warm feeling came across him. He stood up and looked around. Ash: ‘Misty…Brock…Pikachu…I REMEMBER!’ To be continued… AN: It’s almost over. Just one more chapter to go in the “Dead To Alive” saga. I hope you all have had a great time reading this.
